Nothing I said suggested it was for the sponsored driver, only that maxing out a slow motor will quickly show how unequal supposedly "equal" motors really are. What I mentioned is what Canam is doing in "stock". There is a multi-page thread over in On-road which goes over the intent and exactly why they are taking that approach. It is pretty well thought out and tested, not just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks which is what most of these "I'm thinking of starting a new class" threads consist of.
